The Apollo program was a human spaceflight program undertaken by NASA during the years 1961 – 1975 with the goal of conducting manned moon landing missions. This was finally accomplished on July 20, 1969 by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during the Apollo 11 mission. Five other Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last one in 1972. These six Apollo spaceflights are the only times humans have landed on another celestial body. The Apollo program, specifically the lunar landings, are often cited as the greatest achievement in all of human history!! Whoever knew man would end up being able to actually travel to another celestial object??!! This poster features facts and figures on the history of the program. From the tragic Apollo 1 incident where 3 astronauts died during a test and training exercise, to the jubilation at Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon, to the miraculous rescue of the Apollo 13 astronauts, the history of the Apollo program is filled with drama, intrigue, politics and triumph!! Now you can have your own poster commemorating this special part of America’s space history!! Facts on each of the Apollo missions are cited, and the main picture features a great view of Apollo 17!! Smaller pictures featuring the Apollo 9 splashdown, Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon during Apollo 11, the Apollo 15 Command and Service Modules, and the Apollo 14 Lunar Module are also included. Great gift for the space fan in your family, or for any science or history classroom!!
